How much investment is required to build a new coal-to-methanol plant with an annual production capacity of 30,000 tons? Thank you all
It’s too small. An investment of 120-150 million should be sufficient, right?
It depends on what your utility infrastructure is like. If the supporting facilities are in place, it won’t cost much; but if they are lacking, the investment could double. Therefore, it’s difficult to give an accurate answer to the original poster’s question.
About 100 to 200 million. :lol
With such a small scale, it’s even a question of whether construction is possible at all
**They probably no longer approve 100,000 tons per year of methanol...
It’s too small to be approved for use, and its energy consumption is also much higher compared to larger installations.
**It definitely won’t be approved; all the projects currently under consideration are those involving methanol production on a million-ton scale
The key lies in connections and mobility. In these past two years, I’ve really seen some bosses with immense influence who were able to reach all the way to the **top levels**. Naturally, it’s according to the **regulations**, haha – it goes without saying... Additionally, as mentioned above, an investment of 120–150 million is required for a plant that produces 30,000 tons of methanol from coal. So I would like to ask the experts: how much investment is needed for a plant that produces 50,000 tons of methanol from coal?
Yibin has a 50,000-ton coal-to-methanol plant; the budget for it was 80 million yuan, but the actual cost of building it amounted to 170 million yuan – a significant amount of money was wasted on infrastructure work.
Saving 120 million should be enough; if the land is one’s own, there’s no need to build an office complex.
Thank you to the two people above for their advice. It seems that the investment required for a capacity of 50,000 tons and 30,000 tons is roughly the same. Apart from investments in infrastructure and equipment, all that’s needed is to increase the budget allocated for raw materials slightly, right? I wonder if a scale of 100,000 tons also doesn’t require 200 million?
A plant with a capacity of 30,000 tons is too small and does not benefit from economies of scale. These days, plants with capacities of 300,000, 500,000, or 600,000 tons are common, and their costs are much lower than those of smaller plants. When an economic downturn occurs, it’s important to be able to survive such difficult times; therefore, it is recommended to build plants with larger capacities, as this will ensure sustained profitability and the ability to continue developing. :handshake :handshake
Stop adding it; there’s too much of it. When methanol was banned from use in gasoline, many vehicles could no longer run
